Chapter 112 Seeking Help
The lid on top is not fixed to the box, so you can open it at any time to feed the animals and check on them.
I also made a wire mesh cover. When the weather gets hot, I will use the wire mesh instead of the wooden cover to dissipate heat better and prevent the rabbit from getting heatstroke.
After it was made, the wooden box was coated with wood varnish as before and placed in a windproof place to dry.
Finally, the second morning arrived, and I could happily make Korean food.
First, steam a pot of white rice. Rice is a must-have when drinking spicy cabbage soup.
Cut some pork, stir-fry it in a pan until fragrant, then add scallions and kimchi and continue stir-frying.
After the aroma of kimchi wafts out, add an appropriate amount of water and a little chicken bouillon and thirteen-spice seasoning.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into slices about four or five millimeters thick. Put them in the kimchi soup and cook them together. Then throw in a few fish balls, and the side dish is almost ready.
The red kimchi tumbled in the water, releasing a fragrant aroma.
Let the kimchi soup simmer, then slice some pork belly and stir-fry some kimchi and pork belly.
Stir-fry the pork belly in a hot pan until fragrant and cooked through. Add kimchi and scallions and stir-fry together. Season with a little dark soy sauce and chicken bouillon.
Once the stir-fried vegetables were ready, the kimchi soup was also cooked, making for a bright red meal.
With trembling hands, I scooped up a spoonful of spicy cabbage soup, and the long-lost aroma made me miss it dearly.
The soup has a perfect balance of saltiness and savory flavor, and the pork fat enhances the aroma of the kimchi, making it delicious and spicy.
The kimchi was cooked until it was slightly soft, but still chewy. When you chew it carefully, it's not only spicy but also sweet, making it more and more addictive.
The potatoes were cooked until very soft and tender, and the kimchi sauce soaked into them, making them incredibly flavorful.
The spicy kimchi stir-fried with pork belly has a stronger flavor than the soup. The pork belly is soaked in the kimchi sauce, making it both fragrant and spicy. The kimchi is crisp and delicious, and it goes very well with rice.
I ate a large bowl of rice with a stir-fry and a soup, then ladled out half a bowl of rice and soaked it in spicy cabbage soup. The bowl of soup and rice was both spicy and hot, and after a few bites, I was completely full.
After the meal, there was some leftover kimchi stir-fried with pork belly. It was too spicy for the dog to eat, so we saved it to make kimchi fried rice for dinner.
After eating and drinking my fill, I felt warm all over. This is definitely the kind of food we should eat in winter.
With nothing to do, after a good meal, I would lie flat on the kang (a heated brick bed), take a nap, read a book, or watch a TV series. Life was simple yet fulfilling.
But life can't withstand constant nagging. At noon, I was thinking about how peaceful life was, but by evening, something came knocking on my door.
Before the sun had even set, several wolves stood outside the yard howling. The wolf pack usually came at night, and rarely during the day.
Something unusual must be going on, so I quickly got dressed and went outside the gate to check it out.
Five adult wolves came. I didn't know any of them except for the female wolf who gave birth in my house.
Whenever a wolf comes to our house, Sang Biao always returns, but today he's nowhere to be seen, and I'm starting to panic.
When the mother wolf saw me, she grabbed her trouser leg and started walking up the hillside. It seemed that something had really happened among the wolf pack.
I didn't immediately follow the mother wolf up the mountain. Instead, I turned around, went back into the house, grabbed my backpack, flashlight, crossbow, stun gun, rope, and all the tools I could think of, locked the doors and gates, and kept the dogs inside before following the wolf pack up the mountain.
Several wolves surrounded me as we headed into the mountains, and I could tell they slowed their pace for my sake.
At this moment, I felt a little heavy-hearted. First, I was afraid that the trouble I was facing was too great and I wouldn't be able to handle it. Second, Sang Biao hadn't come, and I was afraid that it was Sang Biao who would get into trouble.
Judging from the fact that there were no signs of injury on the wolves, it's likely that there wasn't any serious personal harm involved.
After walking for more than half an hour, it was getting dark. The wolf leading the way stopped, looked up at me, and howled softly twice.
It roughly means, "We've arrived."
I took a few steps forward cautiously, but found nothing unusual. There were pine trees all around, and the north wind howled through the forest. Other than that, there was nothing unusual.
I observed carefully, completely ignoring the low temperature outside and my face that was numb from the cold.
Seeing my blank expression, the wolf leading the way lowered its head and took a few more steps forward. I followed it for a few more steps, not understanding why, and suddenly I found a pit the size of a well opening on the ground.
Oh dear, I was so focused on what dangers were on the ground that I didn't even consider that it was a trap underground. I was so blind; if I had taken a few more steps, I would have fallen in.
Quickly crouch down to check the situation in the pit. The pit was very deep, estimated to be more than two meters deep.
As darkness fell, it became impossible to see what was inside. Fortunately, I had brought a flashlight with me, which I shone into the pit. I saw two wolves, namely Sang Biao and the Wolf King.
Sure enough, there was that stupid guy, Sang Biao.
When Sang Biao and the Wolf King saw me, they stood up excitedly and paced back and forth at the bottom of the pit.
There were some sharpened wooden sticks at the bottom of the pit, with bloodstains on them, but judging from the fact that the two wolves were able to move freely down there, they probably weren't seriously injured.
Logically speaking, with the Wolf King's physical abilities, it should have been able to climb up to a height of over two meters. So why is it still trapped at the bottom?
Shine the flashlight beam onto the wall of the pit. Although the wall is made of earth, it is exceptionally smooth. It seems that someone deliberately polished the wall to prevent the prey from escaping.
Find the rope inside the bag, and prepare to pull the two wolves up. Throw the rope down, and the wolves can grab it and pull themselves up.
But the ground below was covered with sharpened wooden sticks. If a wolf lost its grip and fell in, it would probably lose its life.
After thinking for a moment, he tied the rope into a noose and threw it into the pit.
By placing a noose around the wolf and then letting the wolf actively hold onto a piece of the rope, the safety level is greatly increased, providing an extra layer of protection and security.
Sang Biao and I have known each other for a long time, so we have a certain understanding.
Upon seeing the rope thrown down, it immediately rushed forward and bit the rope.
It seems there's a slight mismatch in our understanding; I want to tie the rope around its waist instead of letting it grab it.
Shaking his head, he gently pulled the rope out of Sang Biao's mouth. Sang Biao probably understood that it was wrong to bite the rope.
It kept trying, sometimes stepping on the rope with its paws, sometimes sitting on the rope with its bottom, until it finally put both front paws into the rope and the rope was around its upper body, and finally figured out the right way.
"That's right, Sang Biao!"
I excitedly called out to it, and Sangbiao, thinking I was angry, suddenly backed away and crawled out of the rope loop.
I sighed deeply; all my efforts had been wasted.
After calming down, she patiently guided Sang Biao to continue crawling into the rope loop.
After tireless efforts, Sang Biao finally crawled into the rope noose. Seeing this, I immediately pulled off the scarf around my neck and handed it into the pit as well.
When Sang Biao saw the scarf coming down, he bit it in one bite.
